Growing Frustration
So I like having a blog if nothing else than having a place where I can really just let go of my frustration. This week, while half-way over (yahoo!) has been extremely stressful and taxing. I have had to cover 4 chapters of AP material in 2 days with students are refusing to put in any effort. On top of this, I have a leadership that still has not clarified what they expect in a final assessment (although they have stated that we need to have one after the SOL), and now I have to begin encouraging students to study for a test they have not prepared for all year long. Does anyone ever hit those walls where you just want to quit on all of it? Not having the necessary support, feeling like you aren't being listened to, and just plain old frustrated with the job in general has just really wrecked me this school year. On Mondays I crave the weekends and on the weekends I crave a holiday. I know these are just rants, but it gets so aggravating sometimes. Serenity now!

You should organize a school trip. It's a lot of work, but totally worth it and you get re-energized! Plus, it's a great get way to interact with different kids and take a vacation!
